It was...poor. In my opinion, anyway. But the core philosophy of the Hish I prefer to the Yautja. The second book, Flesh and Blood handled it much better from what I remember.
I may not have read the Hish mythos but I felt as if they were... out there to say the least. From what I have heard, I didn't like the changes which were made. Namely with the Hish being able to changes sexes involuntarily, the kill gland which caused them to go into a berserker rage, setting fire to newborn Hish to see who was worthy to live, Hish kiddies playing Mortal Kombat with real live humans who were under some mind control, Hish being conquerors and slavers.... It was ridiculous.
The Hish are what made me put down the novels for a very long time and I don't think I'll be picking up these new ones whatsoever. I mean I don't know what Tim's plans are, but while everyone is all Alien centric, I'm all about the Predators and that's what I'm into. I'm more concerned about how they are portrayed, and I hope Lebbon doesn't do anything outlandish. Personally, as much as I love the Yautja concept, I don't want him messing with that.. Keep that preserved the way it is, don't mess with something like that for fans who don't want to see it "fixed" when it ain't broken.
